Answer:

3\frac{3}{4} yards of fabric

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we should first make all of the fractions have common denominators. To do so we can turn the 1/2s into 2/4 which both equal 0.5 or 50%. Now we simply need to add together the pieces of quilt that she has and subtract that value from the total that she needs in order to calculate the amount of quilt that she is missing.

10 \frac{2}{4} - (2\frac{2}{4} + 4\frac{1}{4}) = x

10 \frac{2}{4} - 6\frac{3}{4} = x

3\frac{3}{4} = x

Finally, we can see that Rebecca needs a total of 3\frac{3}{4} yards of fabric to finish her quilt.

He vertices of square pqrs are p -4,0 q 4,3 r 7,-5 and s -1,-18.Show that the diagonals of square pqrs are congruent perpendicul
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of the square given are P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3), R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

For this diagonal to be right angle the slope of the diagonal must be m1=-1/m2

So let find the slope of diagonal 1

The two points are P and R

P(-4, 0), R(7, -5)

Slope is given as

m1=∆y/∆x

m1=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m1=-5-0/7--4

m1=-5/7+4

m1=-5/11

Slope of the second diagonal

Which is Q and S

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -18)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-18-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-21/-5

m2=21/5

So, slope of diagonal 1 is not equal to slope two

This shows that the diagonal of the square are not diagonal.

But the diagonal of a square should be perpendicular, this shows that this is not a square, let prove that with distance between two points

Given two points

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Distance between the two points is

D=√(y2-y1)²+(x2-x1)²

For line PQ

P(-4, 0), Q(4, 3)

PQ=√(3-0)²+(4--4)²

PQ=√(3)²+(4+4)²

PQ=√9+8²

PQ=√9+64

PQ=√73

Also let fine RS

R(7, -5) and, S(-1, -18)

RS=√(-18--5)+(-1-7)

RS=√(-18+5)²+(-1-7)²

RS=√(-13)²+(-8)²

RS=√169+64

RS=√233

Since RS is not equal to PQ then this is not a square, a square is suppose to have equal sides

But I suspect one of the vertices is wrong, vertices S it should have been (-1,-8) and not (-1,-18)

So using S(-1,-8)

Let apply this to the slope

Q(4, 3), S(-1, -8)

m2=∆y/∆x

m2=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m2=(-8-3)/(-1-4)

m2=-11/-5

m2=11/5

Now,

Let find the negative reciprocal of m2

Reciprocal of m2 is 5/11

Then negative of it is -5/11

Which is equal to m1

Then, the square diagonal is perpendicular

if you horizontally strech the quadratic parent function, f(x)=x^2, by a factor of 4, what is the equation of the new function?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

     g(x) = x^2/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To stretch a function horizontally by a factor of k, replace x with x/k.

You want a stretch factor of 4, so your function is ...

  g(x) = f(x/4) = (x/4)^2

  g(x) = x^2/16

__

The attached graph shows the horizontal stretch.
